Elk City State Park is a state park in Montgomery County, Kansas, United States, located west of Independence.

The {{convert|857|acre|ha|adj=on}} park is adjacent to the {{convert|4500|acre|ha|adj=on}} Elk City Reservoir and the {{convert|12000|acre|km2|adj=on}} Elk City Wildlife Area. The reservoir offers fishing opportunities for channel catfish, white bass, crappie, flathead catfish, largemouth bass and saugeye. The Wildlife Area offers a chance to view white-tailed deer, wild turkey, bobwhite quail, cottontail, gray squirrel, prairie chicken, beaver, raccoon, bobcat, coyote, gray fox, opossum, mink and muskrat.

A nationally recognized trails system allows visitors to take in a variety of flora and fauna. The Green Thumb Nature Trail at the Timber Road campground is a one-mile loop with a panoramic vista of the lake. The nearby Table Mound Hiking Trail runs {{convert|2.75|mi|km}} north along the east side of the lake to the scenic overlook at the dam. At the overlook is the 2/3-mile Post Oak Nature Trail. There is also a paved and handicapped accessible {{convert|3.3|mi|km|adj=on}} South Squaw Multipurpose trail. Running outside of the park is the Elk River Hiking Trail, a scenic {{convert|15|mi|km|adj=on}} route that begins at the west edge of the dam and ends near the U.S. Route 160 bridge on the Elk River.
